The Jean Genie

by David Bowie

Album: Aladin Sane

A small Jean Genie snuck off to the city
Strung out on lasers and slash-back blazers, 
And ate all your razors while pulling the waiters.
Talkin' bout Monroe and walking on Snow White, 
New York's a go-go and everything tastes nice.
Poor little Greenie.

{Refrain:}
The Jean Genie lives on his back, 
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks.
He's outrageous, he screams and he bawls
Jean Genie let yourself go !

Sits like a man but he smiles like a reptile
She loves him, she loves him but just for a short while
She'll scratch in the sand, won't let go his hand ;
He says he's a beautician and sells you nutrition, 
And keeps all your dead hair for making up underwear.
Poor little Greenie.

{au Refrain}

He's so simple minded he can't drive his module, 
He bites on the neon and sleeps in the capsule.
Loves to be loved, 
Loves to be loved.

{au Refrain, x2}
